Most resistant insect

According to Official Guinness Records,

The most insecticide-resistant insect is considered to be the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) which has been documented as being resistant to 71 different chemical pesticides. They are approximately 2.3 mm (0.09 in) long when fully grown and vary in colour from green to pale yellow or pink. Aphids feed by sucking the juices of plants and the green peach is the most common aphid in the United States. They were first discovered in Europe in the late 18th century.
